同義改寫

在椅子上放置軟墊的情境中,soft pad 保留了 soft cushion 的柔軟墊子之意,未限定為坐墊或靠背軟墊。
The foam lining cushions the impact when the equipment shifts inside the crate. → The foam lining reduces the force of the impact when the equipment shifts inside the crate.
cushions the impact 指減輕撞擊力道,因此可改為 reduces the force of the impact,並未表示完全消除撞擊。
